Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate thread with newbie questions

Thought I'd continue my newbie questions here instead of in the thread that was more about freaking out in video games in general.
And so!

1. How the heck do you add friends?

2. What are guild cards for and how do you use them?
I read something about helping with missions or something...

3. I get nervous about randomly teaming up with people without at least talking to them first when I'm still new to a game, how does the network and multiplayer stuff work with that Cat/Neko character?

Updated!

4. How do you capture monsters? :/
I'm on my first capturing quest and every time I have em in the trap they stay there a while then break out.
I had it in a shock trap when it was really weak then it broke out, so I thought I had to hit it more, but after the next attack it died.
I think I'm missing something...

2. Guild cards can be picked up by the cat in the port, you can then use the gong at the mission area of the port to select kinda what you want them to kill, you then talk to whatever hunter you got the card for at the area behind the food place to send them out.

3. No cat / neko, you get Shakalakas. You can bring one along in lieu of a person in multiplayer (E.g. if 2 people you can both bring 1).

4. You need to weaken the monster firstly to a certain point, if you have capture guru you'll know when it starts flashing on the minimap. Monsters at the cap HP will limp away when they leave the area and sometimes when they move around the area. If you are doing a lot of damage you might miss the chance to see them start to limp.

After they are weak enough you have to use a trap (shock or pitfall) or (I think) paralyze them (very uncommon). During this time you can hit them with 2 tranq bombs to cap. If they were limping, went somewhere to sleep and they aren't capped after two tranq bombs you can try to hit them since they will regen a little hp when they sleep. Tranq bombs work like other status attacks so the effect lasts a bit of time.
